Our Welfare Benefits service gives advice and support on all Welfare Benefit claims. It also provides support and information with appeals for benefit claims.

​

• Universal Credit (UC)

• Personal Independence Payment (PIP)

• Disability Living Allowance (DLA)

• Employment Support Allowance (ESA)

• Incapacity Benefit (IB)

• Carers Allowance (CA)

• Attendance Allowance (AA)

• Income Support (IS)

​

We have a Welfare Benefits Advisor who can help you with your claim or give advice. 

​

Some benefits, such as Income Support, are “means tested”, whilst benefits such as Personal Independence Payment and Attendance Allowance, are not.

​

Personal Independence Payment could be claimed by people under 65 years old at time of application and consists of two components – mobility & care.

​

Attendance Allowance can only be claimed by people aged 65 and over at the time of application. It only consists of the care component.

​

If you think that you may be entitled to welfare benefits, you can make an appointment to see one of HAD's Welfare Benefit Advisors.

​

If you want to know what you are entitled to or need help filling in forms we are here to help you.

​

For help with housing benefit please contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB). We can only assist you with the benefits listed above.
